  • Meeting Basic Educational Need in North Cambridge
    Meeting basic educational need in North Cambridge A submission from Chesterton Community College to the February 2017 meeting of the Cambridgeshire Children and Young People’s Committee 19 February 2017 Executive summary This submission responds to the Education Officer’s paper “Review of Secondary Education in Cambridge”, dated 28 February 2017. We ask the Children and Young People’s Committee to make a firm decision to support Recommendation (c) of the paper, the planned new build at Chesterton Community College, on a clearly specified timetable, with completion for September 2019. Chesterton’s overriding priority is to meet the basic need for high-quality secondary education in North Cambridge. The need is illustrated below, using Local Authority figures: Sept 2016 210 pupils Chesterton 355 pupils 80 pupils North Cambridge Academy Pupils 65 pupils Net outflow to schools outside North Cambridge living in 25% Chesterton increase or NCA (91 pupils) catchment 2016-2019 240 pupils Chesterton (assuming expansion) 446 pupils 150 pupils North Cambridge Academy (full) Net outflow to schools Sept 2019 56 pupils outside North Cambridge According to LA data, there will be a 25% increase (91 pupils) in the number of state school pupils living in Chesterton and NCA’s catchments by summer 2019, compared to 2016. Even if Chesterton expands, and North Cambridge Academy is full with 150 Year 7 students, 56 students will still need to find places elsewhere. But those places will not be available. Here are the LA’s stark figures for Year 7 places city-wide (positive numbers indicate a shortfall of places, negative is a surplus): Shortfall of Year 7 places, assuming Chesterton intake of 210 North (incl IVC) South Total Sep-17 -25 -95 -120 Sep-18 32 -25 7 Sep-19 50 -3 47 Sep-20 74 88 162 Sep-21 124 187 311 Sep-22 158 168 326 By Sept 2019 there will be a city-wide shortage of around fifty Year 7 places, and that number rises sharply in the following years.

Introduction This Neighbourhood Profile for the North area of the city covers the following wards: Kings Hedges, Arbury, East Chesterton and West Chesterton. The profiles have been collated by the City Council’s Neighbourhood Community Development Team (NCDT) as a tool to developing work plans for the coming year and beyond. The profiles aim to capture key facts and statistics about the area, services that are delivered by the Council and other statutory and voluntary sector partners, key community groups and activities in the area as well as what are perceived to be gaps in provision. Focus groups were held with residents and community groups in each area to identify both positive perceptions of the community as well as identifying issues and gaps from a resident’s perspective. The NCDT has recently realigned its community development resources to work in the areas of highest need in the city.

South Cambridgeshire District is bordered to the northeast by East Cambridgeshire District, to the southeast by St Edmundsbury District, to the south by Uttlesford District, to the southwest by North Hertfordshire District, to the west by Central Bedfordshire and to the northwest by Huntingdonshire District.

All the pay and play squash facilities across Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire District are located on education sites; all but Kelsey Kerridge therefore have limited day time access. However, the majority of squash is played in evenings and weekends, so this is less of an issue than it is for sports hall provision.

  • Launchpad Handbook
    Partner Handbook 2018–19 Managed by What is Cambridge Launchpad? Cambridge LaunchPad is a movement led by science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) organisations, who invest their talent and resources to inspire young people into STEM careers. The programme provides students aged 8 to 17 with experiences and opportunities, and is designed to address the diversity issues which exist in STEM employment. Our industry partners and partner schools are at the heart of the programme. By building bridges between education and employment, we can support and contribute to the growing demand for a skilled workforce in the Greater Cambridge region. If you’re interested in finding out more about all our activities, you can sign up to our newsletter: cambridge-launchpad.com/newsletter. How does the programme work? Cambridge LaunchPad is a 3-tiered scheme designed to excite, educate and encourage students from Year 4 all the way through to the end of Year 12. Over the academic year, each of our industry partners host project days that give the students a chance to gain hands-on experience within a STEM field and build on what they may have learnt in the classroom. During these events, the students are encouraged to develop and improve the Cambridge LaunchPad core skills. These are qualities that they will use throughout their everyday lives, such as communication, teamwork, problem solving and innovation. The students that display these attributes or show improvement throughout the day will be chosen to attend our annual award ceremony to celebrate their personal development. As the Cambridge LaunchPad programme rewards through experiences, these students will also attend an educational prize trip, alongside the winning students from other project days.

    STIMULUS Project " Progress Report 2018/19 Placing Cambridge University students in local schools " to support science, mathematics stimulus.ucam.org stimulus.ucam.org STIMULUS is a community service programme which gives Cambridge University students the opportunity to work with pupils in local schools, helping with Maths, Science, Computing or Technology lessons. STIMULUS students work as volunteer teaching assistants in the classroom, along- side the class teacher. Each STIMULUS placement commits a volunteer to working in their allocated school alongside a specific teacher for 1-2 hours a week for a term. In 2017/18 STIMULUS celebrated 30 years of students and teachers working together to enrich learning and teaching in local schools. The STIMULUS programme was initiated, in 1987, by Professor Kenneth Ruthven from Cambridge University’s Faculty of Education. Toni Beardon, its first co-ordinator, established a network of interested schools and successive co-ordinators have extended this. With the support of the Millennium Mathematics Project, and funding from Colleges, Departments and donors, the programme has grown exponentially. In 2018/19 STIMULUS organised 266 placements for Cambridge student volunteers in local schools. In total, 200 students were involved in the STIMULUS programme over the course of the academic year. 32 local schools benefitted from the support offered by STIMULUS volunteers. These included a mix of primary and secondary schools as well as sixth form colleges. “It was a great opportunity to further my own skills whilst helping others to understand a subject I am passionate about.” STIMULUS volunteer 2018/19 !1 “It's lovely to feel that you're making a genuine difference.
